LoginA CFD simulation software to investigate the human thermal comfort in ventilated tombs of the Valley of Kings was used for that study.
Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
In that study, a method to predict conditions in floor heating type living room by CFD is proposed. Full size model experiments were carried out to obtain measured data.
This numerical study demonstrates the importance of buoyancy on the jet distribution in a ventilated room. The flow parameters are thus strongly affected in the occupied zone. 25 cases of diffuser locations were studied .
For that study a CFD model has been developed. Its aim is to propose a design or an improvement plan of an intake and exhaust system and air-conditioning facility for a kitchen ventilation system.
The evaluation of the performance of existing natural ventilation systems in Lithuania was the objective of this research along with the performance of a CFD analysis to find possible ways to improve them.
For the part 2 of that study, detailed measurements of natural ventilation rate were conducted in a high rise office building in Osaka while twenty natural ventilation openings were kept open.
This paper presents an extension of a standard two-equation turbulence model that can improve considerably the precision of the numerical simulation of a displacement ventilation system.
For the analysis of the variation of ventilation performance with the intensity and the location of indoor momentum source, a numerical study was conducted.
This paper aimed at presenting the application of data-based mechanistic (DBM) modelling technique to control the temperature dynamics in a forced ventilated room.
A field study was conducted to investigate how the open-plan offices influence the occupant satisfaction. It is part of the Cost-effective Open Plan Environments project.
The objectives of this work are the analysis and the evaluation of the global thermal comfort and local thermal discomfort levels of an occupant submitted to a nonuniform airflow.
The aim of this paper is to document an adapted methodology for the measurement of airflow rates provided by each unit, along with the inter-unit airflow rates and the global ventilation efficiency. A case study is presented.
For that study, three different personalized ventilation (PV) systems are investigated : the desk-edge-based PV, PV using a movable panel (MP) and chair-based PV, they all are able to lower human exposure to ambient room pollutants.
This paper presents the discrepancies in applying the power-law model (PLM) for predicting indoor airflow distribution and the methodologies employed to improve this model.First, investigation was made to find an appropriate K value (flow coeffici
This paper investigates the ability of intermediate models such as zonal models to predict environmental conditions in a room.
Electronics densification is continuing at an unrelenting pace at the server, rack, and facility levels. With increasing facility density levels, airflow management has become a major challenge and concern.
Two high-performance prototype houses were built in Carbondale, Colorado, as part of the US Department of Energy’s Building America (BA) Program.
A new all-electric retail store located in Montreal, Canada, incorporates several design features to maximize the interactions between various building components.
This paper provides a method for verifying the accuracy of computer models that simulate the performance of the airhandling components of four types of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems: the dual-fan VAV dual-duct system, the sing
Because of their ability to improve building air quality and their potential to reduce energy usage in some climates by allowing more conditioned air recirculation, use of gas contaminant filters in buildings is increasingly considered.
